Chapter 13 Dispatch

Fang Zhenyao felt that the atmosphere was wrong, and subconsciously looked at King Wei, only to see Liu Hongwen's face with a fierce look, his heart trembled, and he subconsciously wanted to bow his head and stand solemnly, at this moment, a figure that looked a little weak slowly stood in front of him.

Weak, lonely, stubborn, unyielding.

Fang Zhenyao's heart froze, and he stood straight in an instant, facing Liu Hongwen. Razor-sharp gaze, looked over, and no longer dodged.

Liu Hongwen shook his head, turned his gaze sideways, and looked at Liu Xiu, only to see that the other party's eyes were as calm as the surface of the lake, but there were waves in them.

The look of vigilance in his eyes flashed, and then he moved his gaze to the banquet table and said with a smile:

"Okay, you have been standing for so long, it's time to eat, the two highnesses have traveled a long way and come from afar, how can you eat the leftovers of the cold dishes of the country, after the emperor knows about it, won't Long Yan be furious and remove my prince? Now that everyone has met, please take a seat, and the two Highnesses should go back early to rest. ”

Everyone nodded yes.

At the wine table, everyone raised their glasses, greeted each other, chatted in the sea and sky, and for a while, at the dinner, they were happy.

After the party dispersed that night, Liu Ying took advantage of the fact that others were not paying attention, and under the protection of a column of loyal and skilled guards, secretly left Pingyan and went to Dongping to see Liu Ziyu for Liu Xiu.

Leave An Xuehui as her stand-in and stay here-

Time flies by, never looking back.

In the blink of an eye, the two sisters and brothers of the Liu family have been in Pingyan City for more than half a month, and in this more than half a month, the two of them frequently climbed the city tower, and even walked outside the city to visit the Pingyan defenders, bring the emperor's greetings, and send Luo Jing's blessings.

And to reward the diligent people, urge them, let them defend the country with peace of mind, and do their part for the people of the country.

Liu Xiu used the shortest possible time to win the hearts of the people as the prince of the empire.

The initial results were achieved, and every time Liu Xiu climbed the tower, the disdain in the eyes of the defenders gradually retreated, and it was replaced by sincere respect.

There is no longer the meaning of underestimating him as before.

Pingyan City is on a high terrain and faces the north in a posture of overlooking it, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and because it is an important strategic place, it has been repaired diligently for hundreds of years, and the city walls have become stronger.

In order to avoid the inconvenience caused by the high terrain, the passage leading to the city was built very carefully, and it was very easy to transport soldiers and materials.

The terrain was already high, and the city wall was even higher, Liu Xiu stepped on the city, facing the north, only to feel that everything had become small, the field of vision was extremely broad, and he exhausted his eyesight, only to see the earth and the sky connected together, and closed together.

Open your arms, stretch in the wind, on the ancient city wall, there is a kind of domineering spirit of the world's only one.

The city is high, the wind is strong, and the strong wind blowing from the desolate land of Yan Country comes from the pavement, mixed with yellow sand and hits the face, like a knife cut, faintly painful.

But it's refreshing!

With a snap of his fingers, he commanded the wind and retreated a million male soldiers with his own strength!

Far north of the city, out of sight, is a desolate desert, where there is a barren but fierce country, which is now looking at it with fierce eyes.

Are they gathering troops?

The wind blew more ruthlessly, bringing an endless killing atmosphere, this kind of taste, actually made him a little intoxicated, this is a place that all ambitious people yearn for, standing on the city tower, feeling the wind on the battlefield, that wild and murderous atmosphere, people can't stop!

Even if it was the first time he had left Luo Jing and set foot on the battlefield.

Even "Liu Ying" stood next to Liu Xiu, feeling the eternal wind, closing his eyes and being intoxicated!

At this moment, she suddenly saw a large mottled shadow on the city wall, very different from where she was standing.

A dark red color covered the place, and the original face of the city wall could not be seen.

She turned her head to look at Liu Xiu, pointed to the black patch, and asked:

"Look, the colors are different there."

"That's what it looks like when it's infested with blood."

Liu Hongwen suddenly appeared behind the two and returned with a smile.

Both of them were startled at the same time.

The black blood stained the walls, mottled and mottled.

Liu Hongwen stepped forward and stared at the blood stain for a long time, and finally raised his head and looked at the north in a daze, facing the wind and not moving.

Like a beautiful sculpture, like a guardian god of war who will permanently guard the city.

After a long time, he spoke, and said slowly:

"This is the last barrier to resist the invasion of the Yan Tartars, here is the last barrier to protect the people of the country and your Han world, and the people here use their blood to protect the peace of your Liu family's royal family."

King Wei was silent, as if trapped in a distant memory, and after a long time, he sighed and continued:

"I still remember, when I first ascended the throne, at that time I was only a few years older than you, the monarch of Yan thought that the new king of the country was just established, the country was weak, weak and bullied, and personally led an army of 100,000 to invade, the incident happened suddenly, the empire was caught off guard, and there were not enough soldiers and horses to help for a while, even if it was the closest reinforcement to Pingyan, it would take half a month to get here, and there were only 30,000 soldiers and horses available in my hands at that time."

King Wei looked up at the vast land in front of Pingyan City, shook his head and smiled, and continued:

"Hehe, but these 30,000 soldiers and horses are enough for me, I remember that at that time, the Pingyan War, the Yan Kingdom attacked in the middle of the night, and we were caught off guard, and we almost missed at the beginning, lost the city, and became a sinner to defend the country through the ages, but soon we eased up, desperately counterattacked, all night, the sound of killing shook the sky, countless dead and wounded, and the corpses were piled up under the city, almost pushed to the city,

So we burned the boiling hot oil and burned those who came to the city, and burned the corpses, the enemies, and our own. ”

Liu Hongwen's gaze reveals a vicissitudes of life, and his memories are like ancient legends, which make people addicted:

"By the time the imperial reinforcements arrived, I was almost unable to support it, but I still didn't relax, until Yan Guo dropped 10,000 corpses and unwillingly retreated, I slept soundly.

Everyone in the world thinks that I am a natural general, and I can resist the tiger and wolf army of Yan Country for so long with a weak force, thinking that I am the reincarnation of some god of war, but Your Highness, how do they know that I don't like war, I just don't want others to see my weakness and make them lose confidence.

I just want this Pingyan City to really settle down, and I can enjoy the life of the king of a country in peace, and sleep well without worrying all day long. ”

Saying that, King Wei looked at Liu Xiu, looking at the sudden gaze, the young prince suddenly jumped, and couldn't help but take a step back.

Just now, I was almost moved by King Wei's words, and I was startled for a while, revealing my timidity.

Seeing that he didn't speak, King Wei withdrew his gaze, smiled slightly, and continued to look outside the city, to the north.

It's like nothing happened just now.

Liu Xiu froze, and after a while, he suddenly said:

"Lord Wei, if the Yan Tartars send troops to attack this time, if you only rely on Pingyan's current troops, are you sure that you will be able to hold it?"

Liu Hongwen smiled faintly and said:

"Your Highness said with a smile, didn't you and I discuss it the day before yesterday? If Yan Guo really dares to invade the territory, and His Royal Highness will defend the city, and this king will bring the reinforcements secretly transported by His Royal Highness to Pingyan, you and I will be flanked back and forth, how can we be invincible? ”

He paused, groaned slightly, frowned, and looked at Liu Xiudao:

"Has Your Highness's army really arrived? This is no joke! ”

Liu Xiu smiled faintly and said:

"At the moment, I am still walking towards Pingyan, I don't know the movement of Yan Kingdom, so the march is slow, at this speed, it will be less than half a month to arrive."

Liu Hongwen nodded after hearing this, and said:

"If Yan Guo leads his troops to attack at this moment, comparing the two, it should be almost at the same time."

Liu Xiu nodded, and was about to continue asking him, but before he could speak, he saw several soldiers galloping from the north on horseback.

A dusk rose and obscured his vision.

Seeing that the matter was urgent, Song Xunwen, who was standing at the entrance of the city, ran to the city and caught the soldiers after asking the two for a little advice.

After a while, I heard Song Xunwen's footsteps kicking and kicking.

Before they got to the three of them, they heard Song Xunwen panting:

"Your Highness, Princess, Lord! According to the report of the spies, Yan Guo has gathered an army of 270,000, known as 500,000, and has already broken through the two cities of Lianbei and Zhongyan, and is now rapidly moving south, approaching Pingyan! ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone was taken aback.

Although he had been prepared in his heart, Liu Xiu still felt nervous when he heard the news.

An army of 270,000 is enough to level Pingyan, and once the Yan State is broken, the Han Empire will have no door to defend and no danger to defend.

His hand was clenched tightly, although he was in danger, but this was also the first test for him to get up.

If you win, you will soar!

His face turned slightly pale, and he forcibly endured his excitement and horror, turned his head to look at Liu Hongwen, and said:

"The King of Hard Work has made a trip, according to your familiarity with the terrain, speed up the march, and at the latest it will arrive two days after the Yan Kingdom attacked the city."

He paused, faced north, and said calmly:

"I'll stay until then."

Liu Hongwen nodded.

The wind, blowing stronger and stronger, mixed with a strong aura of slaughter, came from the pavement-

In the thirty-third year of the Han Dynasty and the forty-second year of Yan Shunping, after the defeat of Jingyun of the Han State, the Yan State finally couldn't hold it back, exhausted all the available troops in the country, and went south to attack and defend, in a vain attempt to take advantage of the weakness of the Han State to win the defense and expand the territory.

For a moment, the entire Divine Continent was shaken, and countless eyes were all looking here.

The matter was urgent, and after a long night of talking with Liu Xiu, the third prince of the Han Kingdom, King Wei left Pingyan, and all the affairs in the city were handed over to Liu Xiu.

Defending the country, Pingyan City, and the palace council hall.

Liu Xiu's slightly nervous face was flushed with excitement, he sat on the throne of the king of the country, looking at the hundreds of officials with mottled expressions and different expressions under the seat, and then, his eyes fell on the front row, the four powerful ministers of the country.

Compared with the other ministers of Pingyan City, the four powerful ministers from Dongping, the capital of Weidu, were quite calm, at least after hearing his order, they were not shocked and looked around blankly.

Xiangguo Chen Fuxin made the chair straight according to the Wei rules, and the eye circles were obviously a little dark, it seemed that he had not slept well, but his expression was calm, but he kept his head down, not knowing what he was thinking; The defense made Song Xunwen stand there straight, his face expressionless, he didn't even frown, and his mind was not here; However, Sun Zhengwu, the commander of the tall recruit battalion marching soldiers, clenched his fists, his eyes were full of indignation, and when he saw Liu Xiu's gaze, he was stunned at first, and then nodded heavily to show his determination.

Liu Xiu smiled slightly, did not speak, and looked at "his own person" Fang Zhenyao again.

At this time, it seemed that the main hall was the most calm with this observation, and I saw that his expression was calm, but his face was slightly pale, and his eyes were blazing, responding to Liu Xiu's gaze, and smiling kindly.

Liu Xiu looked at everyone condescendingly, and suddenly felt some emotion in his heart, how many of these officials are people who sincerely defend the country?

They are more thinking about how to evacuate here and take refuge in the south, right?

Liu Xiu's gaze became colder and colder.
